Professional Wireless Security with RICOCHET mesh technology
RICOCHET wireless technology Introducing the next generation of wireless security, Texecom s new RICOCHET mesh networking wireless technology delivers more performance than any other wireless security system. RICOCHET enabled wireless devices receive and repeat wireless transmissions from other devices. The size, scalability and range of the entire system are extended as wireless signalling is no longer limited by point-to-point communications. The range of a RICOCHET enabled wireless system is greater than previous systems, with multiple devices capable of relaying messages to and from even the most remote locations in a building. Each RICOCHET enabled device provides signalling routes to and from Texecom Premier Control Panels. Should wireless connection between two devices weaken, the network will self-heal and automatically re-route communications via alternate RICOCHET enabled devices. With more RICOCHET enabled devices installed, the greater the reliability of the system.
RESIDENTIAL RICOCHET enabled wireless devices protect residential properties with ease. A new Commission Mode* setup procedure makes the installation process simple, reliable and fast. *World-wide patents pending COMMERCIAL The new RICOCHET wireless technology has been invented to provide reliable wireless communications in commercial environments. The Signal Security and self-healing functions deliver unparalleled communications reliability. SCALABLE Future RICOCHET enabled wireless devices will be truly scalable, with multiple wireless networks running side-by-side capturing hundreds of wireless devices.

Features Mesh Network RICOCHET enabled devices create a system whereby each wireless device is capable of repeating messages from other wireless devices. Detectors Bi-Directional Two-way communication between RICOCHET enabled devices and the control system increases efficiency and reliability while providing enhanced functionality. Self-Healing RICOCHET enabled devices dynamically change wireless signal routing to utilise the most reliable communication pathway available. Superior Range RICOCHET enabled devices feature class-leading point-to-point wireless range. When used as part of a mesh-network, the range is extended further as each wireless device acts as a repeater, extending the range for further devices. Expanders Signal Security RICOCHET enabled wireless devices provide multiple communication routes. Signal Security measures the number of alternative routes and offers superior indication of system integrity when compared to signal strength alone. Perimeter Commission Mode A RICOCHET enabled system set-up procedure whereby wireless connectivity is indicated on each individual device. Energy Efficiency A RICOCHET enabled wireless device will use 1000 times less energy than an equivalent hard-wired product. Signal Encryption All RICOCHET wireless communications are protected by sophisticated encryption algorithms.
Benefits EASIER Simple to setup, quick to install. With in-range indication at each device, combined with automatic wireless routing, installing a wireless system has never been easier. SMARTER An intelligent system is a reliable system. Multiple signal routes adapt to the environment instantly. Signal Security measurements provide peace of mind. Do more with wireless; be smarter. FURTHER Greater range delivers greater protection. Adding devices increases the range of the system making extra repeaters no longer required. Let RICOCHET wireless technology take you further.

System Setup Tools Commission Mode The most basic and simple feature is the device commission mode. Once a device has been connected onto a system, the device LED flashes to indicate adequate communication to the wireless expander. This is made possible by the bi-directional signalling across the mesh network and turns each device into its own signal strength meter. The Commission Mode feature is the most simple, quick and easy method of installing a wireless security system. Keypad Diagnostics The next level of diagnostic support is an engineer s keypad facility. Any Premier LCD keypad can simply be connected to RICOCHET enabled wireless expander and a host of diagnostic features is made available. Devices can be learned or removed from the system, signal strength information and communication routing information is all available on-screen. All the different device attribute features can be programmed from this menu structure. The latest version of Premier Series control panel software provides diagnostic support directly from the control panel interface. PC Software The most advanced diagnostic tool is the PC-based RICOCHET Monitor software. This software, when installed on a laptop and connected to a RICOCHET enabled wireless expander, provides greater visibility and control over the wireless system performance than ever before. From a simple, intuitive menu screen all device status is available at a glance, with clear graphics highlighting signalling performance. Device attributes can be configured and distributed across the network in seconds thanks to an innovative global poll function that communicates to all devices within moments. Where the RICOCHET Monitor software really excels is with the graphical representation of the mesh-networking system. The system literally comes alive when the graphical function is selected. Each device is shown on screen, in real time, placed according to where the device communicates across the network. It is instantly visible and clear which routes communication signals are taking and the overall network performance is demonstrated. With the power of the graphical user interface, even complex systems can be diagnosed simply, providing confidence that the communication platform is robust and reliable.
